Recently, some Windows 10 PCs started displaying messages that the Paint application would soon be removed from the operating system. However, it seems the situation . Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager for Windows Insider at Microsoft, , stated that the application will be included in the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.
He did not specify the reason for this "change of course." It is important to note that Paint is considered outdated in Redmond, meaning that its development is no longer being pursued. It is possible that it will still be removed in the future, especially since Microsoft planned to eliminate it from "the ten" and allow installation from the Microsoft Store at will. Instead of Paint, Paint 3D was planned to be used, where the main features of the program were to be transferred.
In any case, at the moment there are still two drawing applications in Windows 10. This is another example of Microsoft stepping back from ambitious plans to modernize Windows in favor of stable operation. The same May update will include a of the Start menu, as well as other improvements, but no radical changes are planned.
This raises some concerns about whether Microsoft plans to reduce investment in its operating system in the future. On one hand, this approach will improve the performance of "the ten" on current devices, but on the other hand, it will complicate support for future form factors, such as PCs with foldable screens. Overall, it is still early to draw conclusions regarding this matter. Importantly, the company is not abandoning Paint at this time, which many appreciate for its simplicity and speed.
